Following its relaunch in August, it was revealed that Kuala Lumpur’s Stadium Merdeka is set to host the upcoming Futureland Music Festival.
Speaking to the media at the press conference of the event, Communication Deputy Minister, Teo Nie Ching stated that the restoration project that began in 2016 was so that the stadium will be more accessible to the public and that she is happy that the festival will be held at the venue.
“I am thankful to Warner Music Malaysia for choosing Stadium Merdeka to be the location for Futureland Music Festival. It will be a historic event as it is the first event to be held in Stadium Merdeka since its reopening,” she said.
Teo said that Stadium Merdeka is no stranger to music events, having hosted stars like Michael Jackson for his “History World Tour” in 1996 and Justin Bieber’s “My World Tour” in 2011.
The upcoming Futureland Music Festival will feature local performers like Hujan, Bunkface, Kugiran Masdo, Aina Abdul, Ayda Jebat, Syamel, Tuju, Zynakal, Fimie Don, Amsyar Lee, Rizal Rasid, Empty Page, Fugo and many more.
It will be held at the stadium on 23 November.
Beyond the music, the festival is set to feature the experiential Watsons Glow Up Zone, a Food Village serving local flavors with a modern twist, along with street activities such as pop-up stores, communal graffiti painting, and so much more.
